There is a dish in Sichuan cuisine called casserole fish head, from which fish head hot pot developed. There are many shops making fish head hot pot in the market, and Bian Xiao also learned to make fish head hot pot at home. Fish head hotpot is mostly made of silver carp. Silver carp, as one of the four famous fish, is found in markets all over the country, so you don't have to worry about getting the materials. I want the soup of fish head hot pot to be mellow and white, which is similar to the operation of stewing fish soup.

When we cook fish soup on weekdays, the key operation is to fry the fish in oil before stewing. The same is true of fish head hot pot. If you want the bottom of the pot to be tender and white, first put the cleaned fish head into the pot, drop one or two drops of oil, fry the fish head on both sides until it is slightly yellow, and take it out for later use.

When frying fish heads, cut garlic slices and ginger slices at the same time, which can deodorize the fish heads at the same time.

To make fish head hotpot, it is best to cook a pot of fresh soup in advance. For example, crucian carp soup, pig bone soup or chicken soup are all good choices. Using fresh soup as the bottom of the pot is obviously better than adding boiling water to the bottom of the hot pot.

Since the soup is mellow and white, it seems that it is necessary to make a fresh and healthy hot pot. So don't think about the heavy oil and spicy food, just wash the remaining juice of fried fish head with fresh soup, and add some monosodium glutamate, pepper and perilla leaves to taste. Bian Xiao sometimes simply and rudely adds some chafing dish ingredients.
